Multiple outdoor units: Possible layouts
▪ The piping between the outdoor units must be routed level or
slightly upward to avoid the risk of oil retention into the piping.

▪ If the piping length between the outdoor unit connecting pipe kit or
between the outdoor units exceeds 2 m, create a rise of 200 mm
or more in the gas line within a length of 2 m from the kit.
▪ For the gas piping (both discharge and suction gas piping in case
of the heat recovery system) after the branch, install a trap of
200 mm or more using the piping included in the piping kit for
connecting the outdoor unit. Otherwise, the refrigerant may stay in
the piping, causing damage to the outdoor unit.
